  Every Body, Every Stage: Reframing Menopause with Dr Jenn Salib Huber

  Aug 9, 202654 minS2

  In this episode of Feed the Matriarchy, we sit down with Dr. Jenn Salib Huber — registered dietitian, naturopathic doctor, intuitive eating counselor, and author of Eat to Thrive in Menopause — to talk about the body hierarchy most of us were raised inside without ever choosing it. Together we unpack what it means to approach midlife and menopause through a Health at Every Size lens, why body diversity should be celebrated rather than tolerated, and how women can rebuild trust in their own bodies after years of diet culture telling them not to. It's a conversation about self-trust, self-care, and reclaiming midlife, perimenopause and menopause as a phase of wisdom rather than something to fix.

  Season 2 Opener: Not Just Shrinking, Expanding

  Aug 2, 202634 minS2

  In Season 2's opening episode, we kick things off with an intro to what's ahead this season, opening up about our summers as well as reflecting on the origin story of Feed the Matriarchy itself. At the heart of the episode is a tribute to our grandmother — her obsession with cake, her quiet confidence, and the ways her strength shaped who we've become. From there, we dig into this season's central question: what does it mean for women to stop shrinking and start expanding, in our body, our boundaries, our joy, and our sense of self? We talk candidly about societal pressure, the power of saying no, and finding real joy in self-care (Russian banya included), closing out with an invitation for our listeners to ask themselves: how are you expanding?

  The Stories We Were Sold About Our Bodies: Lu Chekowsky on Body Image and Reclaiming Your Voice

  Jun 14, 202657 minS1

  In this episode of Feed the Matriarchy , we sit down with writer, Emmy Award-winning creative director, and author Lu Chekowsky (she/they) to explore the powerful intersection of advertising, body image, capitalism, and self-worth. Drawing from her years inside the advertising industry and the experiences chronicled in her memoir, Don't Buy What I'm Selling: On Breaking Up with Advertising and Finally Learning to Love My Whole, Fat Self , Lu pulls back the curtain on the messages women receive about their bodies and the systems that profit from our insecurities. Together, they discuss the monetization of shame, the cultural pressures that keep women disconnected from themselves, the relationship between grief and embodiment, and the radical act of learning to trust your own voice. This conversation is a thoughtful, funny, and eye-opening examination of what happens when we stop buying what we've been sold and start defining freedom on our own terms.
